First... hi! I'm new to the baby naming board... my name is Rachel and I'm expecting #3 in January. Having a heck of a time coming up with a name! My DD is Leah Simone and my DS is Logan Patrick. We didn't intentionally go with an "L" theme, it just happened to be the names that we loved Here are some names we are considering (in no particular order)... what do you think? We have a semi-long last name, so I try to keep the first names somewhat short and sweet.
Girls
Chloe
Mia (rhymes with my DD Leah... but I really like it!)
Maisey (May-Zee)
Lily
Girls
Chloe - Cute and goes well with Leah and Logan
Mia (rhymes with my DD Leah... but I really like it!) - And for that reason alone I wouldn't use it just because it may sound cheesy
Maisey (May-Zee) - Not bad but nms
Lily - Very pretty
Boys
Ian - Cute
Evan - I like it
Liam - Prefer William
Collin - I like Colin with one "l"
If it were me I would follow the L pattern because baby #3 may feel left out. I think Lily, Leah, and Logan are perfect.

I actually think that Liam and Leah are too close. I do like Lily with your other children's names. I like the other three boy names you listed...I prefer Evan of the three. Of the girl names you have listed, besides Lily, I kind of like Maisey but prefer Macy.
ETA- since Mia is too close to Leah...maybe consider Mya/Maya
Carly and Phil, proud parents of:
Alaina Rhoslyn {2.15.07}, Natalia Lorraine and Georgia Carol {7.31.08}, Penelope Julia {8.25.10} and
our newest addition Benjamin Philip {8.06.11}
Is this your last baby? If so... I'd stick with the "L" theme so your baby doesn't feel "left out"!
If you're planning on having more down the line... I would just pick whatever name you're absolutely in love with... it doesn't necessarily have to be a "L" name!
L names I like that go along with your other LO's names include:
Girls-
Lakin
Lane
Lara
Lark
Laura
Lori
Boys-
Landon
Laird
Lance
Levi
Luke
Lyle
Your "non-L" names I like are Maci (I prefer it spelled this way... but that's just me!), Colin and Evan
Liam and Lily are, by far, my favorites from your list. However, I'd only go with another L name if this is your last child. If you're going to have any more children, I would go with a name that starts with something other than L (as I wouldn't want 4+ kids all with names starting with L and I wouldn't want to have 3 kids with names starting with L and 1 kid with a name starting with, say, C).
Chloe - nmsaa
Mia - I don't like that it rhymes with Leah's name
Maisey - This name is okay and my 2nd fave to Lily
Ian - nms
Evan - nms
Liam - I like this name as a nn for William and I do think it's a little close to Leah's name too
Collin - nms
I like Liam and Mia. And I don't think you have to continue with the L theme just because your other two have L names. Honestly, I don't think kids really care if their name matches their sibling or not, it's not something they think about. My dad, my brother, my half sister and myself all have names starting with J and my other brother is an R. It's never bothered him, he's never even put any thought into it.
